Review on QOTOM Q190G4-S02 Barebone Industrial PC Gateway Router - Intel J1900, 4 Gigabit NICs, FreeBSD Linux Support (No RAM, No SSD) by Drexel Wortham

So I bought this to set it up as a firewall with unbundling. Bought a compatible SSD and storage and it worked right away. I bought it used (VG condition) but it looked brand new as far as I could tell. I installed Unangle but it didn't load. It continued to boot from the EFI shell. Installed again and it worked fine. It worked fine for a few days and then just died for me. Plugged it into a monitor and it ended up back in the EFI shell. Error decrypting for download. Installed again. Everything seemed to be going well. It booted up to unravel but failed to initialize. Will not download. Either this device has bad hardware (e.g. a drive controller) or the drive I bought was bad. The SSD was brand new and being a return I'm willing to bet the previous person who returned it had some issues with it as well. So he goes back to Revain. But don't let that stop you from buying. Everything will have flaws. By the looks of it, this is a solid device. I am buying another (actually an improved model) from the same company. I do not rule out that the previous owner did something stupid and damaged it, and then after learning the lesson sent it back for exchange. My next block is brand new. O. and branded SSD just in case.
